AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
1245 PM CST FRI NOV 18 2011

.UPDATE...
SEE 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST THIS MORNING. DID INCREASE CLOUD
COVER AS MUCH OF THE CWA NOW UNDER AT LEAST MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES.
INTERESTING AREA OF ECHOES ON RADAR TRACKING ACROSS THE NORTHERN
CWA...BUT CLOUD BASES REMAIN HIGH AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE
ANYTHING MORE THAN VIRGA COMING OUT OF THEM. NO CHANGES MADE TO
WINDS OR TEMPERATURES.

&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY
FOCUS CENTERS ON STORM SYSTEM WHICH WILL AFFECT THE AREA LATE
TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. LATEST MODEL RUNS CONTINUE TO
PAINT GENEROUS AMOUNTS OF SNOW ACROSS THE AREA...BUT DIFFERENCES
LIE IN THE FINE DETAILS. AREA OF BEST FRONTOGENETIC FORCING
CONTINUES TO BOUNCE AROUND THE CWA WITH EACH MODEL RUN...AS WELL
AS AREA OF HEAVIEST SNOWFALL. THERE ARE TWO AREAS THE MODELS KEEP
FLIPPING BACK AND FORTH WITH. ONE AREA IS FROM NEAR PIERRE UP TO
WATERTOWN...ANOTHER AREA IS ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA ALONG HWY 12.
MODELS GO BACK AND FORTH WITH HITTING THESE AREAS THE HARDEST.
LATEST 06Z NAM BRINGS HEAVIEST SNOW RIGHT ALONG HWY 12 INTO
NORTHEASTERN SD. WITH THE UNCERTAINTIES IN WHERE THE HEAVIEST SNOW
BAND WILL OCCUR...OPTED TO LEAVE THE WATCH IN PLACE. WILL AWAIT
12Z SUITE OF HI RES MODELS TO TRY TO NAIL DOWN FINAL DETAILS OF
BEST FRONTOGENETIC FORCING. STILL APPEARS AMOUNTS WILL RANGE FROM
4 TO 8 INCHES WITHIN THE HEAVIEST BAND...WITH LIGHTER AMOUNTS ON
EITHER SIDE. NORTH CENTRAL SD MAY ONLY RECEIVE A COUPLE INCHES.
WITH THIS BEING A MORE BANDED EVENT...DO WORRY ABOUT SHARP DROP
OFFS IN SNOW AMOUNTS AWAY FROM THE HEAVIEST BAND. DRY AIR FROM THE
NORTH WILL BE PUSHING INTO THIS SYSTEM AND WILL LIKELY SEE AMOUNTS
DROP OFF DRASTICALLY NEAR THE ND/SD BORDER OR JUST NORTH OF THE
BORDER. SREF PROBS FOR 8 INCHES PLUS ACTUALLY SHOWING DECENT
CHANCES ACROSS NORTHEAST SD. IMPRESSIVE LIFT WITHIN SNOW GROWTH
REGION AND SREF PROBS FOR DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE GREATER THAN 100
MB IS VERY HIGH. SREF PLUMES AVERAGE AROUND 8 INCHES IN VARIOUS
LOCATIONS. STILL A LOT OF DETAILS TO SORT THROUGH TO COME UP WITH
FINAL AMOUNTS...BUT STILL BELIEVE A SOLID 4 TO 8 IS A GOOD
FORECAST AT THIS POINT. WILL LIKELY SEE SNOW RATES OF AN INCH AN
HOUR OR EVEN 2 INCHES FOR A SHORT TIME. SREF PROBS FOR AN INCH AN
HOUR RATES AROUND 50 TO 70 PERCENT IN JAMES VALLEY AND A GOOD
PORTION OF THE CWA. THERE IS EVEN A 30 PROB SHOWING UP FOR 2 INCH
AN HOUR RATES SOUTH OF ABERDEEN. WILL NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO
FINE DETAILS OVER NEXT 12 HOURS AS FINAL FORECAST AND HEADLINES
ARE ISSUED.

AFTER THIS SYSTEM DEPARTS SATURDAY NIGHT...COLD HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLES IN BY 12Z SUNDAY. WITH THE FRESH SNOW COVER...EXPECTING
LOWS NEAR ZERO AND LIKELY EVEN BELOW ZERO FOR MANY LOCATIONS. WILL
HAVE TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY LINGERING CLOUD COVER...WHICH SOME
MODELS ARE HINTING AT. FOR RIGHT NOW WENT A LITTLE PESSIMISTIC
WITH LOWS...WITH READINGS AROUND ZERO AND A BIT BELOW. WILL NEED
TO TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT CLOUD COVER BECAUSE CLEAR SKIES WILL ALLOW
TEMPS TO TANK WITH SEVERAL INCHES OF FRESH SNOW.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
THE MODELS AND GFS ENSEMBLES SHOW GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE LONG
TERM WITH MILD WESTERLY PACIFIC FLOW ACROSS THE REGION. SEVERAL
FAST MOVING SHORT WAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH AND ARE NOT EXPECTED TO
HAVE MUCH MOISTURE WITH THEM. THUS...KEPT IT DRY THROUGH THE
ENTIRE LONG TERM. THE EXPECTED NEW SNOW COVER ACROSS THE REGION
WILL HAVE A BIG EFFECT ON THE TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT
THIS TIME...DAY AND NIGHTTIME TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO WARM
THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH MAYBE HIGHS IN THE 40S BY THURSDAY. WINDS
WILL ALSO HAVE AN EFFECT ON MIXING THE WARM AIR DOWN TO THE
SURFACE.
